I just really enjoyed my daughter today. She is getting to be a lot more fun lately! She was laughing a lot today, and sweet as anything. She fell asleep on me in her Ergo carrier when we were out shopping for groceries. We had fun playing today, and I love trying to figure out what makes her giggle. When she got a bit grumpy this evening, Daddy came home with renewed energy to entertain her and spend time with her. Yay! So I finished making the soup for dinner while he gave her a bath and played with her. We then did a smooth trade-off and I nursed her to sleep within minutes. She was ready for bed! I was loving the feeling of a sleepy baby draped on my shoulder before I put her in her crib. She is so rarely sleepy on us anymore. Too much to see and do! I put her down in her crib and she groggily groped for her blankie. I put it on her chest and she clutched it close, rolled over and went to sleep. How amazing. I left the room and sent Ken off to Bible Study with the soup. As he was walking out the door I stopped him by saying,
“You have a spoon in your pants!”.
He took it out of his back pocket and dropped it off on the table. “Yeah, that was Dahlia’s toy.” 
Just thought that was too cute.
Little man’s been under the weather lately and I found myself walking him to sleep in the ergo, too. It’s still so precious when his little body relaxes and his head just falls back a little.
It is an amazing feeling of love and trust when your baby falls asleep on you. I miss that, and find myself when any of the children fall asleep (in the car, or on the sofa, I mean) watching them, remembering them as babies.
